The rally is timed to mark an anniversary of victory of the Maidan movement in Ukraine when then President Viktor Yahukovich had to abandon his position and is held under the motto of We Won’t Forget, We Won’t Forgive.

The participants march from Petrovka Street to central Revolution Square, where a meeting will be held. Earlier, the organizers of the rally said they were ready to pay a fine for exceeding the number of participants.
